CLEANING

To reduce the risk of fire, keep the engi-
ne, silencer, battery and fuel tank free
from grass, leaves and oil.
To reduce the risk of fire, regularly
check the machine for oil and/or fuel
leaks.
Never use high-pressure water jets.
This can damage shaft seals, electrical
components or hydraulic valves.
Never use high-pressure water jets ai-
med directly at the radiator fins. This
could damage the structure of the fins.
Always clean the machine after use. To clean
the machine adhere to the instructions provided
below:
• Do not spray water directly onto the engine.
• Clean the engine with a brush and/or
compressed air.
• Clean the motor cooling air intake.
• After cleaning using water, start the machine
and any cutting decks to remove any water
which may otherwise end up in the bearings
and cause damage.

8 USING THE ACCESSORY

Make sure the grass to be cut is com-
pletely free of foreign objects such as
stones etc.
8.1

CUTTING HEIGHT

For best results, cut off the top third of the grass.
See fig. 32.
If the grass is long and needs cutting back signifi-
cantly, cut twice using two different cutting heights.
Do not use the lowest cutting heights if the lawn
surface is uneven.
This would entail a risk of the cutting devices being
damaged against the surface and the lawn's top
layer of soil being removed.
8.2

MOWING TIPS

To get the best mowing results, follow the tips
given below.
• Cut grass frequently.
• Run the machine at full revs.
• Grass should not be wet.
